3.4 Entering Own Ship's Speed
The TT requires own ship's speed and heading data. The speed can be STW,
SOG or echo-referenced speed (based on 3 max. stationary objects). Manual
input is also possible.
For automatic or manual input, see section 1.13. For echo-referenced speed
input follow the procedure below.
3.4.1 Echo-referenced speed input
The use of echo-referenced speed is recommended when:
• The speed log is not operating properly or not connected to the radar.
• The vessel has no device (doppler sonar, speed log, etc.) that can measure
ship's bow-stern, port-starboard movement.
If you select echo-referenced speed, the TT calculates own ship's speed relative
to a fixed reference target. The number of targets may be R1, R2 or R3. When a
plural of objects are selected, the mean value is used, for stabilization and
speed.
1. With the cursor inside the effective display area, roll the scrollwheel to
display "REF MARK / EXIT" in the guidance box.
2. Select a small fixed island or any radar prominent point located at 0.2 to 24
nm from own ship.
